She never refused my assistance. She never refused my checks. She never refused my loving her. She only refused my sharing Any small part of her life. I wasn’t to know of her feelings. I wasn’t to meet any friends. I never got told her ambitions Or shared when she met a new love. She never said to get out of her life- Not in so many blunt words- Just ever too busy to meet me. And only Voice Mail on her phone. I’m strictly forbidden web browsing And everything possible’s blocked. I own nothing I that I can give her That didn’t come from my exe’s mom, The only mother she seems to admire. My treasures will go to my sister’s kids And their children, who don’t even know me. Her windup of my earthly affairs Will be quick and “Call One Eight Hundred”. For someone who tried so desperately hard And never gave up for a second It seems life’s given me so little back It almost was not worth my efforts. She never will change - it’s too late for that. There’s naught I can do to repair things. My life’s ended up in a very dark corner And that’s where I’ll finish my days. ljm

My only child, my daughter, just found a new way to stab me in the heart.
